Abstract:

The subject for this study were chosen from Kumaraguru College of Technology (KCT) and Kumaraguru College of Liberal Arts and Science (KCLAS) their age ranged from 18 to 23 years. Selected subjects were randomly allocated to two equal groups (n=15), group I underwent game specific field training with mental practice (GSMP) and group II acted as control group (CG). The game specific field training with mental practice was given to the experimental group for 3days per week for the period of 6 weeks. The control group did not practice in any training except their routine work. The following variables were measured with standard test items: vital capacity and resting heart rate. Pre and post test was conducted. The vital capacity measured by Spiro meter in liters, resting heart rate measured by bio monitor in minutes. To find out the individual effect ‘t’ test was applied at 0.05 level of significant. Further, the findings confirmed the game specific field training with mental practice is suitable protocol to bring out the desirable changes over the vital capacity and resting heart rate of college Women Football players.
